[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thez3ro:
I pretty much know that, but then i don't have a modified tw launcher, and apps that work properly on a system modified like that...

That is why i asked for a whole rom...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Try a rom called black pitch something. I'm not sure the exact name but it was setup for 240/260dpi it's based on Sammy rom but shares some of the look from aosp.

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
Build.prop ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thez3ro:
Build.prop changes the dpi on the device but also breaks tw app compatibility...

Ok doesnt break but tw launcher looks awful on that dpi...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GezDixon:
I am running Omega 12 with Simplistic Framework V3.5.1. I have changed my dpi to 220 & have modded my touchwiz launcher to:

8 dock (landscape aswell)

6x8 home & app draw (8x6 landscape)

3x5 widget preview (5x3 on landscape)

6x6 folder (9x4 landscape - might need changing) with title changed to middle.

Landscape only available if simplistic framework installed.

screenshots : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vegq00xkmeoon6e/XSPMfcg_Gk

Bad Stuff:

Splanner widgets not scalled properly but rest seem good.

Landscape homescreen only shows 6x5 - anything below is cut off & if you look at the download apps screenshot the txt at bottom is a little cut off but could be fixed sometime.

I have not fully tested the 9x4 folder, it may end up 9x9 as the fixed col option is set to 9.

Looks best @ 220 dpi for landscape or if you only want portrait looks great @ 240 dpi apart from the widget preview window is a little out.

If you want to try it or fix it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ei8a6gjpxczlm7a/SecLauncher2.apk.mod

Samsung keyboard made by bala_gamer: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hkpu7g9iwvnvzm1/SamsungIME.apk.mod

To install copy the .mod file to system/app then select the .mod file and change permissions to rw-r-r, then rename the original seclauncher2.apk to seclauncher2.bak and rename seclauncher2.apk.mod to seclauncher2.apk. Do same with the keyboard file.

Then install the Xposed framework and Appsettings module to change dpi for: splanner, phone, internet, contacts, flashbarservice, clock, camera & calculator to 320dpi.

Change google play service & play store to 200dpi ( I lost apps until I set it to 200).
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thez3ro:
Thanx, i will try it ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YbejZ:
Hi.

I'm searching for Android Market application which is modify to:

- only download application to folder on SD (not installing)

- doesen't see my installed application on my phone,

- doesen't to be able to install application from computer (Google play site)

- doesen't updating itself

I want to be sure of this, that nobody install application without my agreement on my device. (like a "Services Google Play")

I was trying to modify this application myself but i am to poor in this.

Actually I haven't any google apps on my droid

My device:

(Xperia Ray GB 2.3.4 4.0.2.A.62 Rooted, Bootloader unlocked, DooMLoRD's kernel, CWM Recovery)

Sorry for my English, I'm from Poland, but I am trying to write correctly and understandable. :)

Does anyone find that modification?

Or someone have solution to solve those problems?

Re: [APP] SPen-Helper

Thanks. Works perfectly with nova launcher as described.

AW: [APP] SPen-Helper

This would be heaven! ;) main question is: do you think it will be possible to use it on CM as well? (I'm not talking about s-note, of course, just about the function!). Beside that: even if it's tw only, this mod is/will be great!
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] asmanthebell:
Re: [APP] SPen-Helper

Cm support would be great I miss this feature and choosing a custom app would be immensely great
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
By CM support if you mean CyanogenMod then thats gonna be kinda impossible
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] hotelier1984:
Touchwiz has a tweak which pops out the S-memo when S-pen is detached during phone calls. Will this app conflict with that tweak? I mean, S-memo loads faster than S-Note so it is better to load the S-memo when pen is detached during phones calls, and load S-Note when pen is detached otherwise

If can integrate with Tasker, i am willing to pay for that. Please
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
I tried it with the popup S-memo, when the pen is detached the popup note is on top always. And regarding the tasker integration I'll mostly integrate it by next week. No need to pay i need it too.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] brooon:
Dammit! ;) Anyways, looking forward for the app-definition...I would love to see e.g. papyrus popping up instead of s-note, even if it will only will be the main program!
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] donec:
Could this process be used with an app other than s-note say maybe Write?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
I'm working on selecting your custom app, if all goes well it should be ready in half an hour.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
Upgraded to v0.2

Give me your feedback Please

:)
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] daveid:
Re: [APP] SPen-Helper

About to test, will be back with an edit. I use a different note app, so this appeals to me!

Worked!!! Thank you.

Only feedback is the app selector, sorted by full package name is kind of annoying, perhaps options for sorting by proper app names? And widgets shouldn't show, also some icons are insanely large taking up full pages. But, those are minor, the app does the trick, and in that regards it is a winner and a keeper!
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
v0.21 out with more fixes :good:
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] daveid:
Re: [APP] SPen-Helper

Beautiful! Thanks.

:cool:

when in call, launch app1, when not in call, launch app2...

Re: [APP] SPen-Helper

This seems cool ' I take it its just for stock ROMs I.e Sammy ROMs :sly:
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] RabidMonkeyOnCrack:
I noticed you said you wanted to work on an alarm for when the pen is detached. You don't have to do that. It's an S Pen setting, not a TW option. I get the alarm, both audio and popup notification in Nova Launcher.

Request: Do you think you can make it close when the pen is inserted?

ruk212: I just used it on Jedi XX ROM and it's working fine.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
For me the alarm doesn't work on nova launcher.... I'll try it again today

And the application closing on attaching the pen again I'll work on it
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
v0.23 out ...now runs properly in background no need to keep application open
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Mitheor:
Thanks. Working like a charm :good:
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
I had emailed the developer of that app he said that he didn't know about my app before but now that he has started the development of the app he will continue to support it. But that other application I'm sure is a copy because he has copied the features of my app as well as his app.

Oh that's strange. Can you please send me the files you use for attach and detach.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] brooon:
I will as soon as my data plan gets its montly update (just 15 mb left...and yes, I´m using the cheapest of all cheapest plans here in switzerland^^). But in general: all of these notification sounds were downloaded using zedge (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.zedge.android&hl=de), so if you want to - just try it out yourself! I will check if it works with other soundfiles.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] DanijelDesire:
This doesn't work on AOSP/AOKP/CM, does it?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
The spen part will not work if you want to use it for the headset quickbar that will work
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
I need you guys to test this version out for me... I'm not releasing it straightaway because there are many changes and I don't want people uninstalling my Application because of stuff I may have missed.

https://dl.dropbox.com/s/cduukqfp99hm0dz/SPenHelper.apk

Changes:

-Fixed the settings page going back to the top when any checkbox was clicked.

-A few UI changes.

-Can now select auto-launch app for the headset too.

-For the S-Pen you can now select an action,shortcut or application. There is only one action for now going to the Home Page, I plan on adding more later.

-Streamlined the auto-closing of launched app a bit more.

-Significantly reduced apk size.

-And a few other internal code changes.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Dibujor:
Downloading for testing...
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Dibujor:
Ok, I've tested it a bit and everything works, but I've found some rough edges (in the s-pen part, I assume they're the same with the headset options):

- When you activate 'Launch app' (whatever you choose: action, shortcut or app) and then go to configure the 'S-Pen Quickbar applications', after setting one of the five apps it inmediately executes the option you selected in the Launch app section (goes to whatever home you selected, opens the app selected or the shortcut). So to set all five apps in the quickbar you have to exit from where the app sent you and open again s-pen helper to continue.

- In my case, when I select the option 'Go Home' and select a number it sends me to the next homescreen. Meaning, if I select 'Go to Home 1' it sends me to Home 2 and so on. I don't know if that is the case for everyone. The only thing I can think of interfering with this is that I have in my dock five Nova Launcher shortcuts to go to each of my 5 homescreens. Maybe those are interfering?

- And one suggestion... Perhaps it would be better if in the section Actions> Home you add a little explanation text to explain that the option is to go to the Homescreen you want. Maybe I'm a bit dumb but at first I assumed Home referred to your Main Homescreen, the one that appears checked if you show all your 'desktops'. Or perhaps, even better, you can change 'Home' for 'Page' as in Nova launcher.

Ok, that's all for now. I'll keep on testing

P.S.- I don't know if all I've wrote is understandable at all, english is not my mother tongue so perphaps I haven't explained myself clearly...
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
I could not reproduce this one maybe you had your spen detached when selecting the QuickBar Apps

That's how this works it is very erratic. You can Google it, I use the method Tasker uses to go to a particular home screen. You could use the shortcuts option and select Nova options and then go to page, it would be more reliable.

Hmm I'll put a label explaining what it does.

Thanks for testing I can understand everything that you have written. Also I've made a few more changes I would suggest you redownload from the same link.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
This is the final 1.4 beta version https://dl.dropbox.com/s/cduukqfp99hm0dz/SPenHelper.apk

Changes:

-Fixed the settings page going back to the top when any checkbox was clicked.

-Many UI changes.

-Can now select auto-launch for the headset too.

-You can now select an action,shortcut or application for the auto-launch or the QuickBar. There is only one action for now going to the Home Page, I plan on adding more later.

-Streamlined the auto-closing of launched app a bit more.

-Significantly reduced apk size.

-A few internal code changes.

-Changed the headset and spen notification icons to the ones used by TouchWiz.

-Fixed another crash.

Please test it guys and report any bugs that you find. Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] CRudner:
Looks great and working well, will let you know if any problems show up. But it's looking really good :D
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] bkimbel:
Seems to be working well. I was having trouble with the sound when I took the pen out (it wouldn't work the first time then it would work when I put it back in, and after that it would work for a while. Now it seems to be working all the time.)
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
v1.4 out now

-Fixed the settings page going back to the top when any checkbox was clicked.

-Many UI changes.

-Can now select auto-launch for the headset too.

-Can now select an action,shortcut or application for the auto-launch or the QuickBar. There is only one action for now, going to the Home Page.

-Streamlined the auto-closing of launched app a bit more.

-Significantly reduced apk size.

-Changed the headset and spen notification icons to the ones used by TouchWiz.

-Fixed another crash.

Now that this application does not only deal with S Pen, I was thinking of changing the name of this application. But I can't think of any good name. I would be very thankful if any of you creative people out there can suggest me some cool names for this application. :)

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Dibujor:
Yeah, I had the pen detached while doing that :). No worries then

Using the Shortcut>Nova Actions>Go to page works like a charm! thanks for the suggestion. Now I have my two 'custom buddy pages'

Downloaded and tested. Works perfectly. Only thing I haven't tried is the attach and dettach sounds. I'd love to, but the volume problem is too much.I know it's the way it has to be but it's a shame the sound has to go through the multimedia channel. Mmmm, a solution would be reconvert the mp3 used with lower volume settings... (just thinking out loud).

Probably a bit silly sounding but 'Note Buddy'? As it deals with spen (only Notes atm) and headsets and meant to replace the buddy page functionality (among other things)...
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] MarionCast:
Hi there! I love this app! :)

Just one suggestion though: for the QuickBar, could we have an option to make only the app icons appear? Since the app name under the icon is usually too long anyway... :) Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
I do have plans to redo the QuickBar which does involve removing the labels as they make the QuickBar look ugly.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] donec:
I don't know how it works but I learned that if you hold the button on the s-pen and double tap the screen s-note floating window will open. Would it be possible to include that function in s-pen helper but have it open an app of choice like removing the s-pen does?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
I will try to add this but I can't say for sure if it will be added as I will have to read up a bit to see how it works.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
v1.5

-Insert/Detach sounds now play in the Notifications sound channel

-Reduced the number of background services

-Reworked the QuickBar a bit
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] deusson:
Can you upload

Can you upload ver 1.41

because i dont like s pen name in notification(new ui)

ps. i buy pro s pen helper :)

---------- Post added at 12:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

wait for quick bar like in ver 1.41
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
Thanks for buying the pro version :). Here is version 1.41 http://db.tt/0YNmZUXu . Also could you please tell me what you didn't like about the new quick bar.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] deusson:
quick bar

for me(sugestion):

1.i think that name "s pen" in notification quickbar is useful

2. it would be nice to have 6 apps in quick bar

3. in right of quick bar i think that shortcut to settings is no needed because i think that shortcut to apps in quick bar is great to have but any ads in notification are on quick bar is waste of place in dropdown of statusbar

more useful will be just name off apps (but best is clearly only apps in quick bar)

this is my suggestions

thnks for upload
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
6 apps in the quickbar will be too much I think.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] bkimbel:
6 apps would line up nicely with Simplistic Framework Quick Launch.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
I'll put up a test version later tomorrow with 6 apps in the quickbar. Sorry for the late responses, my exams are coming up and hence I don't get much time to work on the app or respond quickly.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
This is a link for v1.5.1b for those who are interested

https://dl.dropbox.com/s/cduukqfp99hm0dz/SPenHelper.apk

Changes:

-Number of apps in quick bar increased to 6

-Removed the settings icon, now clicking anywhere on the heading will open s pen helper

-Improved the onclick effect of the quickbar icons
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] deusson:
can you do something for me ?

Can you remove all line wirh name s pen on top notification in quick bar. i want only icons of app

can you do it for me?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] CRudner:
Works great, but can I be a pain and ask for 7 icons as that is SF maximum number of icons.

Thanks for the great app!
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
You want me to remove the lines from between the apps and the heading too?

I could do that but then I will not put that in the release version because I think 7 apps will be a bit too much.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] CRudner:
No worries, I would rather stick with the release version. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] deusson:
reply

yes all lines

and can background back in apps can be transparent like in 1.41 ?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
http://db.tt/gCr8QHBo

No lines no heading transparent background
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] deusson:
thanks man

this is what i need
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] bady strike:
thnx

thank you man :good:
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
I read about this it can be done but it will increase the memory usage of the application significantly. Also I could not find any setting which disables the default double tap action.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] deusson:
one more question

can you do slimest and more beatifull s pen icon in statusbar? this little pen icon in left corner?

its only question :)

don't be mad
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] elijahbrown:
Can you?

He made it stock, seems reasonable. Matches the most ROMs.

I'll tell you what. You submit a design for a "more beautiful" statusbar icon. And I will tell you how to VERY easily change it yourself.

This has been a great app! I've been looking for something like this ever since I switched to Nova launcher. Now, I can...thanks to you!
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] deusson:
ok i made it

sory for stupid post
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
I do plan on changing the application icon but first I need to find a better name for it and then I'll search for a matching icon. It is such a bad icon and name because its my first application and I never thought people would like it ;) . It would be very helpful if you guys could suggest a better name cause I can't think of any name.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] elijahbrown:
Hmmm "Note Buddy" might be a little too cute.

P.s. This app is a perfect example of finding a need and filling it. Many Thanks.

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] jusuchin85:
Note Buddy... wow, it's not just cute...it fits the app's function! Love it! :D
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Batteriah:
Many thanks for the app, working flawlessly with Nova Launcher. I was starting to miss the quick bar and notification but now i'm very happy with it. Awesome job. :D

And I find the name "Note Buddy" pretty good. I thought of "S Pen Rescuer" but then I remembered the "S Pen Guardian" and it feels like almost copying it.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] donec:
I like Note Buddy better than s-pen helper.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] deusson:

This is a link to v1.6b

Changes:

-Increased QuickBar apps to 6

-A few minor UI changes

-Fixed a bug where if you tried to use the Tasker Plugin for S Pen detection without enabling it in the settings the app would crash

-Added option to not disable the auto-launch during a call

Please test it out guys and report back if you find any bugs or don't like any of the changes. And regarding the name and icon I will change it after my exams get over as I am a bit busy now.

You will have to decompile it with apktool replace the file and then recompile it. I would have done it but I am a bit busy with my practical exams now.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] deusson:
i do it

but after this apk don't starts
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] deusson:
i ll be waiting

if i make it myself i post it

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] deusson:
i try hard and nothing

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:

-Changed the click effect of icons in the QuickBar

There´s a way to use this app with CM 10.1? I searched this forum but did not found the answer.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
No this doesn't work with cm 10.1 as it requires the underlying samsung framework to work :(
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] firewater88:
I have found this app to be very useful for my pen. I do love the headset functionality. I notice that when plugged into the headset jack, it launches just fine, starts the app of choosing and when unplugged, it pauses the music as should. I also have an audio dock (cable) in my car as well. When using audio out over USB, it does launch just fine, gives me my notification but does NOT pause the music upon unplugging. Not sure if that could be something your app could take care of, or if it is just native to the ROM/phone itself. Maybe have a separate tab for docked audio v/s headphone port.

I am running VZW Note II, Nova Launcher, Clean ROM 4.8.0, 4.1.2, baseband VRAMC3

Thanks again...
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] tushar9989:
The pausing of music is handled by the music player, but I can add it to the application. I have no way of testing the dock thing since I don't have a dock.
